    308 Twist rates v projectile weights ?

    Much more knowledge on here than I have so I thought I would put the question out.

    I am looking at getting one of the Bergara single shot take down rifles in 308 win.
    They basically come in two options.
    1: 20 inch barrel with a 1/12 twist rate...or
    2: 16.5 inch barrel with a 1/8 twist.

    Either option will get suppressed with the 20 inch version probably chopped to 17 - 18 inchs as I want to take advantage of the take down feature and be able to fit it all in a backpack and only assemble it once required.

    I know the 1.8 will allow for heavier pills but will it stabilise pills down to 125gr ?

    Any advantages and disadvantages please let me know so I can make an informed decision on which version to get ....

    Cheers Viper
